Friday Focus: The Health-care Reform Debate and Possible Solutions to It

Health-care reform is undeniably one of the "hottest" issues on the American political scene today. Well, I have a few solutions to the problem. These proposed solutions may seem a little "pie in the sky," but I think they could be a step in the right direction. First, the president needs to continue talking tough to those who knock health-care reform. Secondly, we need a public option-- no ifs, ands, or buts. In addition, both sides must reach a compromise and think on behalf of the greater good of the country in regards to get this all-important legislation passed through the Senate. Also, Dems and Repubs need to cut the pork, so to speak, and only include those parts of a health-care bill that are truly beneficial to the American people. Most importantly, those who oppose any reform whatsoever need to-- as I said last week-- grow up and get over themselves! Each of these things will facilitate the passage of a health-care reform bill.
